ETHICSEthics is a set of standards, or a code or value system, worked out from human reason and experience, by which free human actions are determined as
ultimately right or wrong, good or evil
If an action agrees with these standards, it is ethical;
if not , it unethical
indian ethos and business thicse

has about what is
right and wrong or
good and evil

RABINDRANATH TAGORE
The moral side represents training of unselfishnesss, control desire, the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never seperated
We long for things not because they are great in themselves, but because they are great in themselves, but because our greed exaggerates them………These exaggeratins ……..break harmony of our life at every step, we lose the true standards of life
all the secrets of success is there to pay as much attention to the means as to the end
Ethics itself is not the end

the kernel of the true ethical being remains the same will, character, self discipline, self mastery
indian ethos and business thicse
These four steps are Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
The word Dharma means that which holds society and the world.
By following its rules, one becomes virtuous.
For our purpose we may describe Dharma as right conduct.
PURUSHARTHA
indian ethos and business thicse
By Artha we mean wealth, family, friends, education etc. These should be earned in the right way. That can be done only by following the rules of Dharma.
If we observe Dharma in the right way, we earn the right kind of Artha. The first leads to the second.
indian ethos and business thicse
Kama means desire or love. This desire should be moral. If we practise Dharma and earn Artha in the right way, our Kama too will be of the right type
indian ethos and business thicse
Moksha is the last step in the journey of man’s life. The first three steps will naturally lead to the last step.
If, however, we make a mistake in the earlier steps, we will not reach the last step.
The word Moksha means liberation. A person who is liberated has no further birth or death.
So, he need not suffer the pains and enjoy the small pleasures of the earth.
